you, our readers, for many reasons, but one in particular is it includes a very special feature about our MILIEU family. When I first envisioned this magazine several years ago, it was my intention to bring together and foster a family-like staff made up of people who would bring his or her own strengths and experiences to help create MILIEU—a place where everyone contributes, where no one is more talented than another, and where all input is valued. I feel such joy in this very realization now. I look forward to arriving at the office and seeing everyone interacting, brainstorming, connecting over the phone, checking each other’s work, and supporting one another. For those of us in Houston, we all come together around the table for lunch to take a break and…

BY TOUCH When Emma Cassi fashions curtains made of silk for her home, she anticipates the day they will unravel. “When silk stays in the sun for too long, it starts to fall apart,” the fiber artist says from her home in Madrid, “and that’s what I really like. I take those fine threads and start to make one of my fabric bowls.” For years, Cassi was known for her jewelry creations, but after feeling the effects of her artisanship in her arms and hands, she embraced other mediums, notably fiber art, rechristening her one-woman company, Silk by Emma Cassi. Now, she makes bowls, pots, and baskets from recycled wool, cotton, and silk—works that are decorative and practical. “I like to make things that are beautiful and useful.” Cassi also uses…

Frosted in TIME

Scotland’s Drummond Castle was recently cast in a starring role. Such is its likeness to Versailles, complete with terraces linked by staircases, a magnificent parterre, sculptural topiary, and busts and fountains, that it served as the (smaller) set location for the archetypal French garden in the historical television drama Outlander. The imposing Scottish castle keep and its later chateau-style mansion house preside over a parterre of spectacular proportion. While visitors are struck by the sheer geometry of the plantings and manicured shapes, Drummond is particularly memorable when its grounds are whitened with winter frost. The formal garden design was devised in the seventeenth century to beautify the fortified stronghold, a sober edifice built in the late 1490s by the first Lord Drummond. Subsequently, the “pleasure” garden rose and fell with political…

Frosted in TIME

“I like there to be a little edge to what I’m creating—or even wearing—while still being casual,” says luxury textile designer Rosemary Hallgarten. “If I’m wearing a heel, it can’t pinch my feet. And a leather jacket must be super comfortable, like a second skin.” This philosophy extends to the design of Hallgarten’s line of rugs and fabrics—sensual goods made from the world’s finest fibers. To London-born Hallgarten, how a textile feels is as important as how it looks. A lifelong creator with a decidedly modern sensibility, Hallgarten spent her first eight years in Beirut and grew up speaking French, “My mother was a budding archaeologist, and my father worked for the United Nations,” explains Hallgarten, adding, “he was knighted by the Queen at the same time as the Beatles!” When the war…

PAMELA PIERCE Founder & Editor-in-Chief I have long wanted to introduce you to the MILIEU family—our accomplished staff members, who work together, support one another, and genuinely care for each other. These are the individuals who make every edition of MILIEU happen, as well as of our special projects. Here, in their own words, they share their backgrounds and candid anecdotes about their roles at the magazine. I am grateful to this team. Without their dedication and determination, we would not be able to give you, our readers, MILIEU. It’s that simple and that important.—Pam Pierce SHANNON BOWERS Editor-at-Large A ten-year career in public education really helped prepare me for team-oriented hard work. I never dreamed I’d have a second career in interior design, as well as the opportunity to be an editor at MILIEU. There’s…

Blue metal clouds hover thirty feet over the undulating terrain of Art Omi in Columbia County, New York, and they prove more compelling to visitors than the white diaphanous versions drifting by thousands of feet overhead. Elsewhere, on the 120-acre property, grain bins that once held corn now hold swaths of sky and air. Visitors trek to the top of a steep hill to spin a Modern house that rests on a concrete column. A glossy yellow beam hyphenates across a field like a punctuation mark in nature before it angles sharply upward. And a Dutch canal house stands tall in grasses—until the visitor realizes that its wavy façade replicates the effects of a reflection in water. Art Omi Co-Executive Directors Ruth Adams and Gavin Berger oversee works that include (top…

A BUILDING MODEL

There is a powerful saying that speaks to the need for visible role models in careers like architecture: If you can’t see it, it’s hard to be it. Norma Merrick Sklarek (1926–2012) remains one of those hidden personalities who drew her own blueprints in the profession—not only as a woman, but also as a Black woman in the decidedly maledriven world of American architecture. During her lifetime she was quoted as saying that she practically stumbled on architecture as a career. “It was the art, as well as the technical, that drew me to architecture, but when I started in my studies, I really didn’t know what it was,” she said in an interview conducted by UCLA in 1994. After she graduated from Columbia University with a degree in architecture, Sklarek struggled…

A BUILDING MODEL

The truest domestic portrait of an art dealer is to see what they live with at home. While MILIEU often goes into homes of designers to reveal their styles, in For Art’s Sake (Rizzoli; $85), writer Tiqui Atencio Demirdjian, along with photographer Jean-François Jaussaud, brings readers inside the residences of art dealers to show what hangs on their walls, rests atop plinths, and fills tabletops. It’s not surprising that Marian Goodman, the nonagenarian gallerist, lives with works by her artists, notably Gerhard Richter, but it is revelatory to see Shaker chairs and pre-Columbian pots in her Manhattan apartment. Guests at Christophe Van de Weghe’s townhouse might be startled to find a woman cleaning in the library, though—because she is one of Duane Hanson’s eerily lifelike figures—she never moves. Boris Vervoordt,…

MILIEU presents at DISCOVER ADAC

It was a monumental 60th anniversary milestone for the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center (ADAC). Part of the celebration involved MILIEU’s national media sponsorship during the DISCOVER ADAC Fall Market with a lively discussion in the Jim Thompson Showroom. The event, entitled “Designing Friends with Meredith McBrearty and Jeremy Corkern,” was led by MILIEU’s Design Director, Leslie Newsom Rascoe, who spoke with the multi-faceted interior designer Meredith McBrearty and the acclaimed architect Jeremy Corkern.” McBrearty and Corkern, both of whom appeared in our Fall 2021 issue, shared with audience members details about their work featured in MILIEU and about projects they are currently working on together. Their photographs revealed the true process of a design project—a complicated one, certainly, but also always an inspiring endeavor. As longtime personal friends and seasoned…

WITH ALL THE images and messages one is constantly bombarded with in modern life, it’s a relief to enter a serene, tranquil home that invites the visitor to relax and rest in comfort. In Austin, Christina Cole Abboud, known for her quiet, minimal interiors, created a sophisticated scheme for new homeowners that offers a welcome escape from the cacophony and clutter of the outside world. “Our aesthetic as a design firm is very restrained,” Abboud emphasizes. For their growing family, which includes a middle schoolage daughter and son, plus a Labradoodle, homeowners Stefanie and Philip Moore built a five-bedroom house in Pemberton Heights, one of the most charming neighborhoods in Austin. Stefanie had admired Abboud’s work on social media, and the two were soon introduced through a friend. “Design and interiors…

SECRETLY, BEATA HEUMAN was especially drawn to the Notting Hill townhouse. “It was one of my favorite projects,” confides the London-based, Swedish-born interior designer who is creating ripples in the design world for her uniquely lighthearted—but seriously functional—style. The early Victorian brick house in London features generous rooms, high ceilings, and a smart floorplan, plus enviable architectural details worth preserving. But the chemistry went beyond her affection for the space, because Heuman also clicked with the clients. As a couple who are firmly involved in the film industry, with two young children, their lifestyle is casual and comfortable, punctuated by the sort of bold streak that lets Heuman take a project and run. Open to the dashes of plucky color and curvaceous lines she favors, they contacted her. It was the high…

WHAT DOES THE TERM “fishing cabin” conjure? Do you envision a modest shack at the end of a weathered boardwalk? A New England bungalow surrounded by colorful buoys? Perhaps a portable ice shanty on a frozen lake? Whatever you imagine, it likely doesn’t approach the refined rusticity and welcoming comfort of acclaimed designer Juan Montoya’s recent lakeside commission in Whitefish, Montana. His extensive renovation of this 1910 cabin has given the home a new identity and role for his long-standing clients. He has restored the integrity of the structure’s original design, while adding layers of texture and visual interest that encourage both exploration and relaxation. “This was a wonderful project,” Montoya says, “but the shell we started with was not interesting at all.” Describing how the home’s essence had been lost in…

IT WAS SIMPLY a matter of Mark Cunningham being honest with his clients. When he walked into the Upper West Side neo-Classical townhouse owned by Pam and Kevin Wolf, soon to move to their new downtown loft apartment, he looked at all the furnishings that filled the six floors, and, according to Pam Wolf, “He chose a single lone bench to bring with us to the new apartment.” In fairness, those formal furnishings just wouldn’t translate to a full-floor, open-plan loft in a former West Village typewriter factory. “My four children, all in their twenties and living with dorm-style furnishings in their apartments, quickly scooped all of the furniture from the townhouse,” says Wolf, “and they’re happy to have them.” The homeowners, Cunningham, and architect Mike Gilmore agreed that the loft space,…

NOT LONG AFTER designer Roger Higgins finished the interiors of his home in the West End neighborhood of Nashville, he and his wife, Ann Shipp, decided to sell. “The house had been featured in a magazine, and a reader who saw it called a real estate agent with an offer to buy,” says Higgins. Even though they had nowhere to go, the industrious couple found a new home—a 1950s ranch—in Belle Meade, a lovely city in Tennessee known for its historic architecture and equestrian legacy. The home needed plenty of work, but the location was ideal, and they knew they could transform it into a comfortable dwelling for themselves and their two dogs, Birdie and Lily. So they purchased it on the spot and later signed a house on a…

Eileen Gray worked with geometric forms to create furniture designs in chromed steel and leather. The E-1027 adjustable side table was designed for Gray’s own home. Its variable height is facilitated by a circular base that supports a cantilevered glass top. The Bibendum lounge chair was inspired by the namesake character from the Michelin tire company. Its thick, rounded cushions resemble inflated tires, but in a very elegant manner. Eileen Gray Designs are available through Aram Designs, as well as ClassiCon. These are the only authorized sources for her products. aram.co.uk, classicon.com Eileen Gray (1878–1976) was Irish-born, to an aristocratic mother and an artist father. Her mother, Eveleen Pounden, had inherited a noble title as Baroness Gray; her father, James Maclaren Smith, was a notable landscape painter, who encouraged his daughter’s…
